A new predatory journal for frauds to publish their junk?👇
🚨Dentistry 3000 (EISSN: 2167-8677) lists papers accepted just one day after submission. Peer review in 24 hours? That’s either groundbreaking efficiency or no review at all. https://t.co/FpR6GbQd0V

openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

On paper every country/university adheres to strict guidelines and 'harsh penalties', in reality however it is absolutely not the case!

Do publishers 'need' more help to combat the (paper mill) publication fraud? Most definitely! Do all publishers WANT more help? Most definitely NO! Furthermore, many publishers are reluctant to go for a more systematic approach, publisher wide to combat or prevent fraud!
"Publishers need more help to combat malicious academic networks" Fully agree with this statement. I would go further and say that it is not only authors that should be scrutinssed, but also publishers. The question is, who would do that scrutiny? | @EggletonKim |

Meet @LarisaYarovaya from @unisouthampton. She likes to edit papers for her coauthors, but it seems she also edits her own papers. Will @ElsevierConnect investigate? The finance field is riddled with unethical issues! @ELSFinance

Beware of paper mills! These unethical outfits produce fake research for profit. Avoid offers of guaranteed publication or paid authorship. Verify journals, write your own work, and follow ethical practices. Protect your integrity and the integrity of the scientific archive.

. What acion should the scientific community take? Credit to @ElsevierConnect for naming & shaming, but what should happen now? 1) Should Guillherme Malafaia be banned from ever submitting to this journal again? 2) Should Guillherme Malafaia be banned from every submitting to
